Visiting on a Sunday evening with a friend, the writer had a wait to get a seat and ordered raw shrimp sashimi, fried shrimp heads, and flounder sashimi with salt gimbap (39,000 won) alongside beer, with the shrimp so fresh it was still moving when it hit the table. Popular enough to draw a wait even on a Sunday, it's a solid pick for anyone craving seasonal seafood. ## Good to know - **Location**: Gojan-dong 771-3 (alley between Lotteria and Starbucks) - **Hours**: 17:00 – 00:30 - **Ordered**: Raw shrimp sashimi, flounder sashimi + salt gimbap, Cass beer - **Flounder sashimi + salt gimbap price**: ₩39,000 - **Complimentary side dish**: Grilled flatfish - **Seating**: Tables plus bar seats facing the kitchen - **Ordering**: Tablet ordering at each table - **Wait**: Visited Sunday evening; guests after us had to register by phone number and wait *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ![Seafood spread at Susan Jang in Gojan-dong, Ansan](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-01-1ohgd-900.webp) The other day I went with a friend to Susan Jang, a hot spot among Gojan-dong restaurants and bars. I had to be in Gojan-dong anyway, and my friend said it's raw shrimp season and suggested we go eat some — so off to Susan Jang we went! Susan Jang is a chain, with branches in Dongtan, Seonbu, and Gojan. I'd eaten at the Seonbu branch before and the vibe for drinking was great there too, with delicious seafood, but the Gojan-dong branch felt even fresher and tastier. > Susan Jang / Location: Gojan-dong 771-3 / Hours: 17:00 – 00:30 / Menu: Raw shrimp sashimi, flounder sashimi + salt gimbap, Cass beer ![Exterior of Susan Jang's Gojan branch tucked down an alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-02-arcmr-900.webp) ## Finding Susan Jang's Gojan branch Susan Jang, a well-known Gojan-dong restaurant and bar, sits down an alley between Lotteria and Starbucks — and once you walk in, this romantic-looking storefront appears. That's the place! The vibe is already great~~ ![Live shrimp tank in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-03-lfres-900.webp) ![Indoor tank holding fan mussels, abalone, and other seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-04-cy399-m-900.webp) Out front there's a tank full of live shrimp, and inside there's a variety of seafood like fan mussels and abalone. Since Susan Jang is a bar that sells seasonal seafood, I love that everything is always kept fresh and clean! ![Entrance to Susan Jang's Gojan branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-05-77m7t-900.webp) ## A wait even on Sunday evening We were the last customers to walk straight in without waiting. Everyone who came after us had to register their phone number and wait — on a Sunday?! That really tells you how popular this restaurant is!! ![Interior with bar seats facing the kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-06-a7vy4-900.webp) The interior wasn't huge, but it had regular tables plus bar-style seats facing the kitchen. We took the open seats right in front of the kitchen! Getting to watch the cooking and enjoying the atmosphere — totally satisfying! And just getting in without a wait made us happy already! Each table has a tablet for ordering, and we ordered raw shrimp sashimi, flounder sashimi + salt gimbap, and Cass beer!! My first raw shrimp of the year!! Already looking so good~~ ![Tablet ordering screen and basic table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-07-lwdv8-900.webp) ![Table set with soy sauce and vinegar-chili sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-08-1e4dw-900.webp) We ordered and got ready to eat before the food even arrived! We set out the soy sauce and vinegar-chili sauce, chatted with each other, and the dishes started coming out one by one. ![Complimentary grilled flatfish side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-09-1szb1-900.webp) ## Grilled flatfish, the complimentary side dish No matter which Susan Jang branch you visit, they always bring out grilled flatfish as a complimentary side dish, and it's an absolute rice thief! It's seasoned so well that you could easily polish off a whole bowl of rice with it! Soft, no fishy smell at all — fish really does taste best when someone else grills it for you~ ![A plate of raw shrimp sashimi prepped to order](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-10-r63n3-1200.webp) ## Raw shrimp sashimi, prepped the moment you order The moment you order, the owner heads straight to the outdoor tank to grab live shrimp and prep them — and it's incredibly fast!! Pulled straight from the tank and prepped right there, so it was extremely fresh. Nearly every table had ordered raw shrimp — that's how popular the dish is! When the raw shrimp sashimi arrived, it was so fresh it was still alive. Check the video — it was literally flopping around...!! ![Raw shrimp sashimi topped with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-11-jovcy-900.webp) ![Raw shrimp sashimi dipped in spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-12-1tenq-900.webp) We ate the raw shrimp sashimi plain with just wasabi on top, dipped in soy sauce, and also dipped in the slightly spicy sauce that came alongside it — the texture was so springy and delicious, with a subtle sweetness. The shrimp itself was tasty enough that it was great whether or not you dipped it in sauce. ![Dipping sauces served alongside the raw shrimp sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-13-17qo7-900.webp) ### Fried shrimp heads on the side When you order the raw shrimp sashimi, you can also add fried shrimp heads — they cut the heads off the shrimp we'd ordered and fry them up. They were fried so well I ate them like a snack, they were that good! ![Crispy fried shrimp heads](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-14-6hlwy-900.webp) Pull the horn on top of the shrimp head and the shell peels off cleanly — you can eat it dipped lightly in vinegar-chili sauce or just plain! Super nutty, with the shrimp's umami and flavor hitting hard!!! Crunchy texture, and the more you chew the more the nutty flavor fills your mouth!!! ![Shelled shrimp head dipped in vinegar-chili sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-15-wes9t-900.webp) ## Flounder sashimi + salt gimbap, ₩39,000 The flounder sashimi and salt gimbap (seaweed rice roll) arrived beautifully plated. In the middle was the flounder fin, with flounder sashimi on the side, and salt gimbap, wasabi, white kimchi, and ginger on one side. ![Plated flounder sashimi and salt gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-16-17n5g-900.webp) ![Flounder fin served with white kimchi and ginger](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-17-sdp15-900.webp) For 39,000 won, this much food isn't bad at all!?!? The flounder had a good chewy texture, and the salt gimbap was light and nutty and warm — it wasn't sushi rice, but topping it with wasabi and soy-dipped flounder made for a really appealing bite! ![Flounder sashimi placed on top of salt gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-18-1didt-900.webp) ![A piece of flounder sashimi dipped in soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-19-1sa06-900.webp) We ate it with flounder on top of the salt gimbap, just the flounder sashimi on its own, and the fin with wasabi — tried it every which way, and it was the perfect drinking snack~ We had it with beer, but honestly, if it weren't for work the next day, I'd have wanted soju instead! ![Seafood spread with cold beer on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi-20-14pc3-900.webp) ## In summary Susan Jang, a popular Gojan-dong restaurant and bar, was hopping even on a Sunday — the snacks were great and the cold beer hit just right for this weather! If you want to properly enjoy seasonal seafood, I highly recommend Susan Jang~ Great atmosphere, and the seafood is incredibly fresh! ## Where it is - Susan Jang (수산장) - 154 Gwangdeok-daero, 132ho, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 안산시 단원구 광덕대로 154 132호 - 37.3099513, 126.8306548 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%88%98%EC%82%B0%EC%9E%A5/@37.3099513,126.8306548,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@brass-coaster/susanjang-gojan-live-shrimp-flounder-sashimi/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
